Nominate A Neighbor For Their Positive Contributions To The Area

Do you know a someone who’s doing something great in our neighborhood? Nominate them for an award from Community Board 6!

Each year CB6 honors youth and adults “who have made a substantial contribution to improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods through direct action or by serving as a positive role model for others.”

The Youth Acknowledgement Awards are presented to kids ages 10-19 who reside, attend school, or volunteer for some organization serving the CB6 district. The voluntary contribution must have occurred in 2014, and examples of a contribution include tutoring, working on community-based projects, overcoming a personal challenge, and more.

The Robert Acito Award for Youth Involvement, named for the CB6 district manager who served from 1980-1993 and dedicated much of his time on behalf of youth in the area, is given to an adult member of the CB6 community who has demonstrated a similar sense of purpose.

Download the applications: Youth Acknowledgement Award and Robert Acito Award for Youth Involvement; and find out more on their website or at the district office at 250 Baltic Street during regular business hours.

Nominations must be postmarked by Friday, April 3. The awards will be presented at the beginning of the May 13 general meeting.
